The gypsy man struck Elie's father in order to demonstrate his supposed superiority over his prisoners.  


I would like to point out that the gypsy is also a prisoner at Auschwitz.  The Nazis would often use prisoners to guard other prisoners in the concentration camps during World War II.  It seems like an odd system to have prisoners watching prisoners, but the system worked because men like the gypsy would enforce Nazi concentration camp order in hopes of receiving better treatment from the Nazis.  The gypsy's immediate and extreme use of violence against Elie's father allows the gypsy to set a tone.  Elie's father now knows not to mess with the gypsy, but everybody else that witnessed the event knows the exact same thing.  Elie's father asked a simple question.  


"Excuse me…Could you tell me where the toilets are located?"


The gypsy responded by striking Elie's father so hard that he crawled back into line.  The gypsy made an example of Elie's father, and now the rest of the new prisoners know that he (and the other guards like him) are meant to be taken very seriously.

Olenka [21]

   In Walden, Thoureau presents a lesson of wisdom about the best way to life as an individual and as a social being.

   What would look like excentricity to most people, means to him a reflection about the capitalism and the advantages and disadvantages of urbanization and industrialization.

   The trancendentalism defended the vality of the intuition, and individualism. So it fits with the thoughts of Thoureau about the industrialization and reflections about life, as it is possible to confirm in Walden when a question is frequently asked about what is really important to the basic needs for the modern man to have a good life. He defends that it is possible to have a good life with the minimum of material resources to provide whatever the spirit needs, such as reading, reflections about life and nature watching. On the other hand, he afirms that it is possible to have a good life without an  excess of clothes, food or fancy houses.

Explanation:

Dialect refers to the way a person speaks a particular language. This way is usually associated with a certain social group, geographical area, class or district. People who share a dialect have a way of speaking that differs from the standard in spelling, sounds, grammar and pronunciation. In this example, this line contains dialect, as it shows the particular way of speaking of Carla's brother.
